Resource from Ashlee Menear

Mathematical Musings is a personal blog written by a math teacher who is "re-discovering technology" (http://mathmusings.blogspot.com/). It is intended to provide insights about everyday issues encountered by teachers and resources that the author has found useful. The blog has more inspirational quotes and personal stories than useful content for math teachers. The site is organized and easy to navigate, but it has not been updated since April.

Mathematics around : HOsted by Rashmi Kathuria : rated http://mathematicsaround.blogspot.com/ Subscribed to by: Lori Powers This This website is a dream for math teachers and students alike!There are so many creative and resourceful pages to Rashai’s blog.My favorite page and the way I found her blog is the pictures of math in the real world. There are many different concepts covered throughout this blog yet it is fairly easy to navigate and updated frequently. Another of my favorite pages is the “common errors” page where the author shares real pictures of her students’ work to explain and point out typical student errors.As a fellow mathematics teacher I share Rashai’s philosophies that she bases her website on. First, all people see things or solve things differently in life and in math.Second her goal to take the fear out of mathematics.Math should be fun and Mathematics Around certainly makes that connection!
